Maton is not in the lineup for the second game of a twin bill versus Atlanta on Wednesday.

Maton went 0-for-1 with a run scored while drawing a walk in the first game of the doubleheader. The infielder will take a break during the second game with Jonathan Schoop handling the hot corner and hitting sixth.

Garcia is not in the starting lineup Wednesday versus the Reds, Joel Goldberg of Bally Sports Kansas City reports.

Garcia will take a seat after he went 1-for-8 with a walk and a strikeout while starting the first two contests of the series with Cincinnati. Nicky Lopez will take over at the hot corner and bat seventh in the series finale Wednesday.

Urias will start at third base and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

He'll pick up his third consecutive start versus a right-handed pitcher after going 6-for-10 with two doubles, four runs and two RBI over the Orioles' previous two contests. With Ryan Mountcastle (illness) recently joining Cedric Mullins (groin) on the 10-day injured list, the Orioles could have a near-everyday role available for Urias until one of those two injured regulars returns to action.

Devers is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

With a team off day coming Thursday, the Red Sox will look to build in a two-day break for Devers, who was overdue for a breather after starting in each of Boston's last 16 games. Justin Turner will step in for Devers at the hot corner in the series finale with Colorado.

Davis (ankle) was not placed on the injured list prior to the Giants' game versus the Cardinals on Wednesday, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

Davis suffered a sprained right ankle in Tuesday's contest in St. Louis and is not in Wednesday's lineup. The injury could still ultimately result in an IL move, but the Giants have decided to push that decision back until Friday.

The Tigers announced Wednesday that Kreidler (knee) recently underwent core-muscle surgery, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Kreidler was placed on Triple-A Toledo's 7-day injured list April 28 due to knee soreness, but he was cleared to begin a rehab assignment with High-A West Michigan just under a month later. He played in five games in the Midwest League before being pulled off the assignment two weeks ago, presumably on account of the core-muscle injury. Kreidler is in the midst of daily treatment and is taking part in physical therapy following the recent procedure, but he's without a clear timeline to resume playing in games.

Lewis is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.

Since making his 2023 debut with the Twins on May 29, Lewis has been holding his own in the big leagues, slashing .318/.318/.477 over his first 44 plate appearances. However, because he's returning from the second ACL tear to his right knee of his young professional career, the Twins seem to be managing his workload somewhat conservatively. Despite getting a breather for Saturday's 9-4 win over the Blue Jays, Lewis will get another chance to rest up for the day game just four days later. Donovan Solano will spell Lewis at third base in the series finale with Milwaukee.

Davis (ankle) is not in the starting lineup Wednesday against the Cardinals, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Davis left Tuesday's contest early with a sprained right ankle and his status is up in the air moving forward. Manager Gabe Kapler said after the game that he wasn't sure if Davis would need to be placed on the 10-day injured list or not, but David Villar was called up from Triple-A Sacramento and will start at third base in Wednesday's matchup with St. Louis.

The Brewers optioned Toro to Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Toro hadn't started since June 6 and appeared in just one other game over the past week, so the Brewers deemed him expendable with the club needing to make room on the 26-man active roster for outfielder Raimel Tapia, who finalized a one-year deal Wednesday. During his two-week stay with Milwaukee, Toro went 4-for-8 with a home run and five RBI.

Farmer went 2-for-3 with a double and a solo home run in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Brewers.

Getting the start at second base and batting seventh, Farmer chased Corbin Burnes from the game by leading off the seventh inning with his fourth homer of the season. The 32-year-old infielder has started only two of the last seven games, and with Edouard Julien getting a look at the keystone and Royce Lewis handling the hot corner, playing time will likely be scarce for Farmer despite his solid .270/.328/.393 slash line on the season.
